Chapter 734 Can’t become a Buddha

   “Can’t escape, can’t let go. Can’t escape, can’t let go. Can’t escape, can’t let go…”

  Under the shadow of the lonely lamp, Xuanzang muttered to himself while holding the heart-hiding stone. His eyes gradually dimmed, but his expression was full of helplessness. There was a panic.

   There was an indescribable sadness in that scene.

   For a moment, the monkey suddenly remembered the old white ape who died in the Evil Dragon Pond… The old white ape who was obviously insignificant, but wanted to carry it on his shoulders.

  If he didn’t know that Xuanzang’s past life was Jin Chanzi, the monkey would probably doubt whether Xuanzang’s past life was him.

   After a long time, the monkey smiled lightly and said, “Someone told me a story about Buddhism in the past.”

   Hearing this, Xuanzang raised his eyes slightly and stared at the monkey quietly.

   After a slight pause, the monkey continued: “The person who told this story is my Eighth Senior Brother. A guy who came to practice Taoism after cultivating Buddhism, some inexplicable guy.”

“The story goes like this: Once upon a time, there was a woman who was breastfeeding and eating with her newborn baby, when a mosquito flew over and bit her neck, and she was immediately beaten to death. After a while After eating, she threw away the remaining scraps. Following the smell, a bony wild dog ran over to eat, but she was scolded and stoned away.”

   After saying that, the monkey watched Xuanzang quietly.

Xuanzang raised his head slightly and replied softly: “So, the Buddha pointed at the woman and told the disciples: ‘This woman does not know at all, the mosquito killed by her is the reincarnation of her mother. The wild dog she beats away It was her old father who was reincarnated. And the child she held in her arms was indeed the reincarnation of the father-killing enemy she hated to the core.'”

   “You know the story?”

“Everyone in Buddhism knows this story.” Staring at the empty front, Xuanzang repeated in a recited tone: “The Buddha used this story to warn his disciples not to kill. At the same time, it is a metaphor for mortals. The mortal fetus of the naked eye. It is impossible to distinguish the true from the false. Also, the suffering of the mortal world. The emptiness of human feelings… This is the way of Buddhism.”

   Having said this, Xuanzang smiled bitterly and said, “The Great Sage suddenly mentioned this story, did you understand it?”

“I didn’t understand it, and I didn’t have the time to read it.” The monkey stretched and said, “How can I have the spare time to think about this and that like you all day long? When I was born, I had to endure hunger. Tigers want to eat. Me. Hunters want to kill me. To learn from a teacher, to avoid the encirclement and suppression of the Heavenly Army, and to think of various ways to manage Huaguo Mountain. Hehe… Thinking about these things seriously is far less quick than swinging a bat directly. I haven’t figured it out yet, but my head is already in a different place. It was my eighth senior brother Ling Yunzi who understood it.”

   “Oh? What did he say?”

The monkey sighed lightly: “He said that Buddhism could stop this, but sacrificed a woman’s filial piety. It was only to fulfill his supreme theory. He thought he couldn’t do it, so he stopped cultivating Buddhism and changed Taoism. .”

   Hearing this, Xuanzang was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a long time, he lowered his head and sighed, “Ling Yunzi, he is a wonderful person.”

“He’s wonderful?” The monkey laughed and said with a grin, “Probably. I think you are the really wonderful person. You are all people who see through this. The difference is that my eighth senior brother chose to be a deserter. .Since this road doesn’t work, then change to another road. You chose to stick to it.”

   “So… a poor monk will never become a Buddha.” Xuanzang looked down at the hidden heart stone in his hand and smiled. It was a smile from the heart.

   That feeling, as if the road to enlightenment is no longer lonely.

   “It’s not that you can’t become a Buddha, it’s that you become a Buddha, but you can’t stand idly by. Actually, that’s pretty good.” He let out a long sigh of relief. The monkey bared his teeth and said, “What’s happening right now is exactly the same as this story? All the residents of Fengxian County have become the woman in the story, and they have become chips for preaching.”

   Xuanzang still stared at the hidden heart stone in his hand.

With pursed lips, the monkey casually carried the golden hoop stick on his shoulders, and said leisurely: “Okay, I’m going out, you can find a way by yourself. If he dares to shoot you directly, I will beat him all over the place. . However, if he comes to write, but not to martial arts, you have to deal with it yourself.”

   Xuanzang folded his hands together, bowed and saluted, “Xuanzang thanked the Great Sage for the people of Fengxian County.”

  …

When    went out the door, the monkey found the canopy sitting under a small tree in the courtyard and watching him quietly.

  Monkey was stunned for a moment, and asked casually, “Why?”

   “Buddha also has good people.”

   “What do you mean by that? Overheard us?”

“You didn’t even use the sound suppression technique. Even at such a distance, I wouldn’t even want to hear it. It’s not eavesdropping.” Wei Wei paused, and Tian Peng said softly: “I now realize that in fact, every ethnic group has , there are different people. There are evil monsters and good monsters in the monsters. There are evil spirits and good spirits in the gods. There are evil people and good people. Buddha is the same.

“Buddhas are different.” The monkey walked to his side step by step, squatted and sat down, looking in the direction of Xuanzang’s room and said, “Buddhas are not human. Those who can become Buddhas have only one face, just It’s as if they were branded with the same seal. Therefore, there are no good Buddhas and no evil Buddhas. Xuanzang will never become a Buddha unless… we lose.”

  Time is passing bit by bit, from the tip of the moon to the star.

   All night, Xuanzang locked himself in the room and muttered to the heart-hiding stone. The monkey and the canopy guarded the door. As for other monsters, they quietly spread throughout Leiyin County.

   It was like casting a big net, they tried to get a feel for the entire Leiyin County, and even the slightest accident was not allowed.

  However, the accident happened after all.

  …

  When the sky was grey and bright, a dozen demon generals had gathered in the yard of a family in Leiyin County, including the Bull Demon King and Lu Liuguai.

   Soon the monkeys arrived.

   pushed aside the group of demons, and the monkey soon saw the mummified corpses of the two demon generals lying in the middle of the yard.

“Master, it was already like this when we arrived.” The Bull Demon King on the side whispered: “This family discovered it first, and the hostess screamed early in the morning… Fortunately, we arrived first, and promptly sent They all caught up, and they split up and turned into their appearances to prevaricate all the neighbors.”

   Turning his head, the monkey glanced at the dozen or so people who were bundled into zongzi and threw neatly in the hall.

   “Have you asked?”

   “I asked, but I didn’t ask anything.” The Bull Demon King said cautiously: “I only said that I saw a shadow, but unfortunately the speed was too fast and the sky was dark. I couldn’t see what it was.”

   “These people are all **** and served with food and drink, and they will be released when we leave.”

   “No!”

Soon, Lu Liuguai walked over to the monkey, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said, “Reporting to the great sage, there is almost no trace of a fight. Both of them died in an instant, and they were completely powerless to fight back. After drying the blood and essence, this technique is like that of a six-eared macaque.”

  Monkey’s eyes slowly narrowed into slits, and he said lightly, “Got it.”

  …

   At this moment, in the back hall of the “Little Leiyin Temple”, Chen Xiang was frowning, holding a brush and carefully copying the Buddhist scriptures. Every now and then, he raised his eyes to look at Lingji, who was sitting upright in front of him.

   “Mr. Bald, I… When can I go to my master?”

  Lingji pointed to the rice paper under Chenxiang’s pen and said, “This word has an extra line. Rewrite it.”

After fanning the fan, Lingji continued: “What do you want to do with your master? If your master can teach you, the poor monk can teach you. Also, what is Mr. Bald Head. The poor monk Lingji Buddha, you are just getting started. Disciple, the poor monk should be called the Venerable Lingji.”

   “But I don’t want to shave my head.”

   “How many people want to shave their heads and have no chance to enter Buddhism. Don’t be in the midst of blessings and don’t know the blessings.”

   Just as he was speaking, the tall and thin monk hurried in from the door and bowed deeply.

   “Report to Venerable, last night in Leiyin County, two monsters died.”

   “Oh?” Hearing this, the corners of Lingji’s mouth rose slightly, and he said with a leisurely smile: “This time, there is a good show to watch.” (To be continued~^~)
